Abstract:
The quest for design of selective nontoxic anti-inflammatory analgesic agent is continuously going on since more than last 30 years. Keeping the same objective in mind as an attempt to develop potent and nontoxic, nonsteroidal analgesic anti-inflammatory agents, we have optimized the diaryl pharmacophore by using molecular modeling studies. In this paper we present results of 2D and 3D QSAR studies of series of 80 molecules containing 4,5-diarylimidazole pharmacophore as selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors. The 3D QSAR studies were performed using two different methods, stepwise variable selection k-nearest neighbor molecular field analysis (SW kNN-MFA) and simulated annealing k-nearest neighbor molecular field analysis (SA kNN-MFA) methods. The 2D QSAR studies were performed using multiple regression. 3D QSAR studies produced reasonably good predictive models with high cross-validated r2cv value of 0.688 and 0.733 and conventional r2 value of 0.912 and 0.794 values using the models SW kNN-MFA and SA kNN-MFA method respectively, whereas the r2 value in 2D QSAR studies was found to be 0.8943. The output of present research work is interesting, the 2D QSAR studies indicated contribution of different physicochemical descriptors and the result of 3D QSAR studies indicated the exact steric and electronic requirement in the ranges at various positions around 4,5-diaryl imidazole pharmacophore. Thus the pharmacophore requirement for selective COX-2 inhibition was optimized and requirement at various positions around 4,5-diaryl imidazole pharmacophore were defined.
